NexGen 7T vs Current 7T fMRI

Caption

This is a cross-section through the outer layers, or cortex, of the brain (bottom), showing how the NexGen 7T fMRI will be able to focus on smaller areas of the brain - regions the size of a poppy seed -- than current 7T scanners and record from each layer of neurons separately.
